Hamilton Community Credit Union

We are pleased to announce the launch of the new Hamilton Community Credit Union web site.

It’s built on Ruby on Rails and features the Radiant CMS (including our custom modifications) and a secure membership and account application system that enable HCCU staff to completely manage the site.

Congratulations to Malcolm and his team at HCCU!

It's a small thing...

but it delivers big functionality!

We’ve posted up some code to easily integrate TinyMCE, a powerful WYSIWYG editor, with Radiant CMS, an elegant Ruby on Rails Content Management System (CMS).

Our clients needed this functionality and now you can easily implement it too.

Hamato!

Hamato is a Ruby on Rails plugin that allows you to add a dynamic glossary of terms to any page on your site. By passing it a hash of words, it will replace all occurrences of those words on your page with a pop-up link (or whatever you like) that shows a definition you provide of that term.

You can download Hamato from RubyForge.

Health-evidence.ca (re)-launches

We launched the new Ruby on Rails 2.0 - based re-design of www.health-evidence.ca, a premier resource for public health information. Along with a new, stream-lined design, the new site features:

• enhanced searching and filtering of articles
• in-line content management
• integrated content creation workflow and collaboration system
• complete re-write of previous VB.NET 1.0/SQL Server application to Ruby on Rails 2.0 with MySQL database

The new site will augment and replace paper-based activities supporting the creation of articles and evidence published through the site.

Our thanks to Dr. Maureen Dobbins and her team for their hard work in realizing the promise of our initial development in the new system launched today.
